Ultimate Tien Shan Trek
Altitude 4250m, Duration 16 days, Grade T3/T4 (grades)
Spectacular helicopter flight visit Khan Tengri, one of the worlds most beautiful peaks dramatic glacial walking
Background
Director Dave Pritt has probably travelled to this region of the Tien Shan (the Celestial Mountains), more than any other British mountaineer and it remains his favourite destination; he has climbed numerous previously unclimbed peaks here. It is a spectacularly unspoilt region, remote and Himalayan in stature, with the highest peak Pobeda reaching 7443m and Khan Tengri 6995m - one of the most beautiful mountains in the world. Our trek takes us to the base of both, giving you the opportunity to take home some spectacular photographs!
The trek initially winds through pine forest and alpine meadows before crossing the Tyuz Pass (4020m) to reach the Inylchek valley and glacier, the third longest in the world. We spend six days walking up the glacier, past the ice-bound Merzbacher Lake to Pobeda Base Camp and one of the most spectacular cirques in the world with a vista of snowy pyramidal peaks. A further days trek takes us to the base of Khan Tengri, before we fly back by helicopter through this panorama of classical glaciated and jagged peaks. A must for those who like remote boundless landscapes.
